Online poker has become world celebrated as of late, with televised championships and celebrity poker game events. The games universal appeal, though, arcs back in reality a bit further than its TV ratings. Over the years several variants on the first poker game have been developed, including a few games that are not in reality poker anymore. Caribbean stud poker is 1 of the above-mentioned games. Despite the name, Caribbean stud poker is more closely resembling blackjack than old guard poker, in that the players bet against the casino rather than the other players. The winning hands, are the established poker hands. There is no bluffing or different kinds of concealment. In Caribbean stud poker, you are required to ante up before the dealer saying "No more wagers." At that point, both you and the bank and of course all of the different gamblers are given five cards each. Once you have seen your hand and the dealer’s initial card, you must either make a call bet or bow out. The call bet’s amount is equal to your beginning ante, meaning that the stakes will have doubled. Bowing out means that your ante goes directly to the dealer. After the bet is the face off. If the bank doesn’t have ace/king or greater, your wager is returned, with a figure on par with the original bet. If the bank does have ace/king or better, you succeed if your hand beats the bank’s hand. The casino pays cash even with your wager and set odds on your call wager. These expectations are:
- Even for a pair or high card
- two to one for 2 pairs
- 3-1 for three of a kind
- four to one for a straight
- 5-1 for a flush
- 7-1 for a full house
- 20-1 for a 4 of a kind
- fifty to one for a straight flush
- one hundred to one for a royal flush
